The last update appears to have turned off the "Eco" monitor in the Home Info area (usage and temp graphs). When turned back on, all prior info was missing. Also, like others I've found that a lot of times the system is unresponsive - e.g. "Apply Boost" often does nothing but time out. To get it to work I have to "force quit" and relaunch the app. The app also still doesnt record everything in the Activity log. E.g it will record Boost OFF, but not ON (!?)..

So frustrating. Easily the worst app and system I have ever used. Installed a new boiler last year and splashed out on the ember system to control it. Installer wired it all up but left the config to me. Worked okay for a few months but lately it fails with a socket error more often than not. No other info and no help on how to fix it. It also works only on 2.4ghz wifi so I've had to change my router settings just for this one app that doesn't work most of the time. Save your money. Avoid!

Hi Andy, Sorry to hear you are having an issue, the socket error relates to the local equipment and can usually be rectified easily by relocating the gateway. I'm sure we can help if you would like to get in touch with our technical team. I'll put the link below. - Terry EMBER Support https://www.ephcontrols.co.uk/contact-us/
